Do it the same way as done in microcode_intel.c: use pr_debug()
for missing firmware files.
There seem to be CPUs out there for which no microcode update
has been submitted to kernel-firmware repo yet resulting in
scary sounding error messages in dmesg:
microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin

Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way:
static int my_init(void)
{
char *map = (void *)0x5;
*map = 3;
return 0;
}
module_init(my_init);
When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in
that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in
the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB
decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of
functions with tail calls.
This was added in commit 71f9e59800 ("x86, dumpstack: Use
%pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack
printouts.
So instead of correct output:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa01ac000>] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173]
We get:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa0152000>] 0xffffffffa0151fff
To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via
newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs->ip (via
printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all
except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we
remove that parameter from printk_address.

"As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling
has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for
you to build perf via:
cd tools/perf/

(ie without the -j option.) The build system will figure out the
number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install.
The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported
against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please
(re-)report any remaining annoyances or bugs.

The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of
__copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other
argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied.
Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not
copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes
not copied.
Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied
while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

Currently show_cpuinfo_core() displays cpu core information only if
the number of threads per a whole cores is 2 or larger.
However, this condition doesn't care about the number of
sockets. For example, this condition doesn't hold on systems
with two logical cpus consisting of two sockets and a single
core on each socket - yet the topology information would be
interesting to see in that case as well.
I don't know whether or not there are processors in real world
by which such configurations are possible, but at least on
vitual machine environments, such configuration can occur,
typically when no explicit SMP information is provided in
advance.
For example, on qemu/KVM, SMP information is specified via -smp
command-line option, more specifically, its syntax is:
-smp n[,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets][,maxcpus=maxcpus]
If this is not specified, qemu tells configuration with
n-sockets, 1-core and 1-thread to the guest machine, on which
guest, MP information is not displayed in /proc/cpuinfo.
I saw this situation on VMWare guest environment, too.
To fix this issue, this patch simply removes the condition
because this information is useful even if there's only 1
thread.

The x86 specific kvm init creates a new conflicting
debugfs directory which causes modprobe issues
with kvm_intel and kvm_amd. For example,
sudo modprobe kvm_amd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kvm_amd': Bad address
The simplest fix is to just rename the directory. The following
KVM config options are set:
CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
OK, so what I'm actually seeing on my WSM is that sched/clock.c is
'broken' for the purpose we're using it for.
What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-(
[ 0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT
[ 0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor
[ 0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]:
[ 0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
[ 0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+
should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems.
This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to
try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick,
clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until
it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu.
While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about
actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not
idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events
just fine on an otherwise idle cpu.
So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually
don't last nearly that long:
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi
...
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990
So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees
~27us, but we measure ~1ms !!
Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually
fix it.

It's incredibly difficult to diagnose early EFI boot issues without
special hardware because earlyprintk=vga doesn't work on EFI systems.
Add support for writing to the EFI framebuffer, via earlyprintk=efi,
which will actually give users a chance of providing debug output.

Even though the omission was found only during code review
(originally in the Xen hypervisor, looking through ACPI v5 flags

struct cpu_dev's c_models is only ever set inside CONFIG_X86_32
conditionals (or code that's being built for 32-bit only), so
there's no use of reserving the (empty) space for the model
names in a 64-bit kernel.
Similarly, c_size_cache is only used in the #else of a
CONFIG_X86_64 conditional, so reserving space for (and in one
case even initializing) that field is pointless for 64-bit
kernels too.
While moving both fields to the end of the structure, I also
noticed that:
- the c_models array size was one too small, potentially causing
table_lookup_model() to return garbage on Intel CPUs (intel.c's
instance was lacking the sentinel with family being zero), so the
patch bumps that by one,
- c_models' vendor sub-field was unused (and anyway redundant
with the base structure's c_x86_vendor field), so the patch deletes it.
Also rename the legacy fields so that their legacy nature stands out
and comment their declarations.

mrst is used as common name to represent all intel_mid type
soc's. But moorsetwon is just one of the intel_mid soc. So
renamed them to use intel_mid.
This patch mainly renames the variables and related
functions that uses *mrst* prefix with *intel_mid*.
To ensure that there are no functional changes, I have compared
the objdump of related files before and after rename and found
the only difference is symbol and name changes.

mrst/early_printk_mrst.c -> intel-mid/intel_mid_vrtc.c

Also, renamed the corresponding header files and made changes

There's been reports of high NMI handler overhead, highlighted by

The solution to that is to avoid having to call copy_from_user_nmi() for
every instruction.
Since we already limit the max basic block size, we can easily
pre-allocate a piece of memory to copy the entire thing into in one
go.
Don reported this test result:

We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973e9
Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed
that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a
situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be
able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick.
Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in
a945928ea2 (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init()
has executed)
This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with
pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().
